Smith College Students

In 1998-99, Elizabeth Caton, Vanessa Larson, and Alena Shumway put together the history of the Northampton silk industry (using the resources of the Smith College archives, Forbes Library, and the Daily Hampshire Gazette); they also constructed a working model of an 1830's Piedmont silk reeler.

In 1999-2000, Smith students Alena Shumway and Kim MacDonald were Northampton Silk Project Interns, and Michelle Saunders, Laurel Mutti, and Danielle Solan assisted with research through the STRIDE Scholars Program.
